The goal of our service learning program is to combine collaborative, practical and authentic institutional service opportunities for our students. This structure results in a more powerful impact for all those who participate and stresses the importance of relationship building and partnering with those we serve.
Service Program
Each of our Tologs has a minimum number of service hours to complete but they go above and beyond with service to the poor, the elderly, the disenfranchised and in stewardship of the environment. Clubs and non-club co-curricular groups include service projects as a major component of their annual activities. Some of these groups exist as strictly service organizations; for example, CAM (Christian Action Movement) runs the annual food drive, “Koins for Kids” and co-sponsors the Santa Teresita Christmas Party.
Students hosted the Cottonwood Music and Eco Festival to support the preservation of Cottonwood Canyon
At the end of finals, just before Christmas break CAM and the senior class coordinate the Christmas Party with Santa Teresita School in Los Angeles. Each Flintridge Sacred Heart student is paired with a young buddy. In a day of shared prayer, food, performances and gifts, the Christmas spirit is alive on the Hill. Faculty, staff and parents also collect gift cards for the community of Santa Teresita.
Flintridge Sacred Heart students spend time with their Santa Teresita "buddies" Our parents give generously to the Flintridge Sacred Heart community with their time and talent.
"I can make a difference – that's something that was inspired in me during my time at Flintridge Sacred Heart."

Service: A Community Endeavor
The adult community is also committed to “walking the talk.” Faculty, staff and alumnae all give back to the community by participating in service days, while our parents generously commit to service hours on the Hill.
